<h1>Creating help

</a><BR>
	<DIV CLASS="expara" ID="exp1" STYLE="display:">	
	<P>
The HTML Help project (.hhp) file organizes all elements of a help system. It contains pointers to all of the HTML topic, image, index, and contents files in a help project. You can also add links to your files and assign information types. <a href="prjfile.htm" onmouseover="liteGo(go1)" onmouseout="liteOff(go1)">
<span ID="go1" class="endlink">GO</span></a>
</p>	</DIV>

<p><a onclick="doExpand(exp2,ar2)" href="#nowhere">
	<img src="arrowrt.gif" id="ar2" border=0>Customize help
</a><BR>
	<DIV CLASS="expara" ID="exp2" STYLE="display: none;">	
	<P>
You can customize the way topics appear and decide what functionality you want your users to have in your help system. You can use the Help Viewer to display your help system or customize it to get the exact look and feel you want for your help design. <a href="overcust.htm"  onmouseover="liteGo(go2)" onmouseout="liteOff(go2)">
<span ID="go2" class="endlink">GO</span></a>
</p>	</DIV>


<p><a onclick="doExpand(exp3,ar3)" href="#nowhere">
	<img src="arrowrt.gif" id="ar3" border=0>Compile and test help
</a><BR>
	<DIV CLASS="expara" ID="exp3" STYLE="display: none;">	
	<P>
The HTML Help compiler automatically compiles your help project according to your specifications. You can test all elements of a help project, to ensure that you are shipping an error free help system. <a href="overcompile.htm"  onmouseover="liteGo(go3)" onmouseout="liteOff(go3)">
<span ID="go3" class="endlink">GO</span></a>
</p>	</DIV>

<p><a onclick="doExpand(exp4,ar4)" href="#nowhere">
	<img src="arrowrt.gif" id="ar4" border=0>Hook up help to a program
</a><BR>
	<DIV CLASS="expara" ID="exp4" STYLE="display: none;">	
	<P>
You can create shortcuts, context-sensitive help, and training card topics, with the help of a software developer, to integrate help into the program you are documenting. <a href="overhook.htm"  onmouseover="liteGo(go4)" onmouseout="liteOff(go4)">
<span ID="go4" class="endlink">GO</span></a>
</p>	</DIV>

<p><a onclick="doExpand(exp5,ar5)" href="#nowhere">
	<img src="arrowrt.gif" id="ar5" border=0>Manage large document sets
</a><BR>
	<DIV CLASS="expara" ID="exp5" STYLE="display: none;">	
	<P>
There are several features that you can use to manage large document sets. They are particularly useful if you are shipping a help system that contains components. <a href="overlrg.htm" onmouseover="liteGo(go5)" onmouseout="liteOff(go5)">
